Let's live for Hope
Kohaku: hey guys
Sasuke: Yo
Sakura: hi
Kohaku: now it's time for Chapter 4. Have fun reading
Ch. 4
I woke up to faint warmth coming from my side. I tried to snuggle a little closer but the warmth seemed to be as close as it could get. It was then that I heard a small giggle coming from the same direction as the warmth I felt so attached to.
I slowly opened my eyes to a familiar pink, then green. I knew that from anywhere. Sakura, she stayed. I was then suddenly filled with happiness that even I could not understand, it had been so long since I had felt happy. Or even any kind of happiness for that matter.
I saw her smile back at me with such love that I couldn't help but snuggle even close to her (A/N: yes Sasuke is OOC but who cares) I heard another giggle come from her angel lips and I smiled again. I was so happy in this moment that I didn't want it to end, however eventually it would no matter what we wanted.
"Sasuke, what's the matter?" I closed my eyes as I heard her voice
"Just thinking of what's going to happen from now on. Even if the Hokage approves this, that won't stop some people in the village from searching for you." She knew who I was talking about, Naruto, to this day he still hadn't given up trying to bring me back to the village. No matter what I said that boy would just come back.
"He will be fine; Hinata will find a way to stop him."
"Huh" I was confused, what did the Hyuuga girl have to do with Naruto coming after me and Sakura.
"Oh Hinata and Naruto have been dating for four months now? I don't remember how long exactly but they have been dating for awhile." I lifted up to look her in the eye
"Oh." Awesome now Naruto won't be so pissed about me taking Sakura.
"And Naruto will probably be even more pissed when the Hokage tells him that I found you and decided to stay with you." Why does she have to read my mind?
"Why would he be even more pissed?" I had an eyebrow raised I was truly curious
"He thinks of me as a sister." And she's smiling, great, that's not good at all. Any boy has to hate overprotective brothers.
"Oh, well that's greeeeeeaaaaaaat." I dragged the last word for added sarcastic effect
"I don't need your sass." I have to say I kinda like that accent
I just simply smiled and laid my head back down and snuggled against her neck once more. Until of course something had to happen.
There was a knock at the door, I wanted to ignore it but the knock sounded urgent so I went to take a look.
I opened the door to see one of the villagers there looking worried.
"What's the matter?" It had to be important if he was coming to me, normally none of the villager bothered to approach me.
"I'm truly sorry to bother you so early in the morning Mr. Uchiha. But my wife is giving birth and there are no more doctors in this village I was wondering if you knew anyone that was trained in medicine." He said all this really fast but before I could answer I felt Sakura's presence right behind me so I let her take over instead
"Yes, in fact, I am a doctor myself." Oh she took off her headband, very nice. Wait, I must keep focused on this situation. I don't think I ever saw Sakura use her medical jutsu or anything involving medicine.
"Tell me where your wife is and I will help you in any way possible."
"Oh thank you so much let me take you to her." The man said before he ran off with me and Sakura following quickly behind.
We were able to reach the house he was taking us to in a few minutes, Sakura walked into the house first after the man, I followed behind not long after. I wanted to stay out of her way.
Then there was screaming heard from behind the door that we were standing in front of. The woman was in pain that was for sure.
The man opened the door; or rather he slammed the door opened, yelling, "honey, are you alright!"
"Oh, I'm just peachy. I'm not GIVING BIRTH OR ANYTHING!" and this woman liked to be sarcastic.
'Note-to-self: when a woman is giving birth, never ask if she is alright. She will get pissed at you.' Sasuke thought as he turned away from the woman giving birth.
"Sorry." The man said apologetically
"I don't care anymore, I just want this to be over." She said as she screamed once more
I didn't know what to do so I stayed out of the way until Sakura said, "Sasuke, please get me a bucket of hot water and a wash cloth."
I ran to get a pail and some hot water; I had it a few minutes later thanks to my fire jutsu. I hurried back to Sakura without spilling the water; with the wash cloth over my shoulder I opened the door, walked to where Sakura was, I set the bucket down and let Sakura do her job.
The man was freaking out and decided to take him out of the room so he wouldn't get in Sakura's way as well.
15 minutes later we heard a scream from a child.
The baby is here.
I know
Where have you been?
No where really
Alright then suit yourself
So did you ever think about having kids?
You would know, aren't you apart of my mind as well?
True but I want to hear you say it. Other then reviving your clan, have you ever thought of having kids?
Actually, yes I have.
Oh well that's a first well I'll leave you now
What? Where are… crap he's gone.
"Sasuke, would you like to come see the child?" it was Sakura
"Yea."
"Ah,…. Sasuke right?" it was the mother of the new-born child
I simply nodded my head indicating that she was right.
"Well would you like to hold my new-born son?"
I was surprised but agreed anyway thinking that I would hurt her feelings if I refused. I had never held a child before so I was a little nervous but the man watched me closely and the women would correct me if I did something wrong.
I sat down in a chair and simply watched the child sleep in my arms, finally I asked, "what are you going to name him?"
"Well, I really like your name Sasuke so I want something close to it. How about…..Shusuke? How does that sound?" the woman seemed to be having fun even though she was only naming her child
I nodded my head saying that I heard her
"I like it." The man said with pure happiness in his tone
"Oh, I never introduced myself, my name is Amar, and this is my wife, Hana." She nodded elegantly
"You already know my name, this is Sakura Haruno." I looked at Sakura to see that she was looking at the child and smiling.
I wonder if she wants a family
Most girls do
I thought you left
I did
Then why are you back
Because annoying you is more fun than anything else in this depressive place I call a home A.K.A your mind
Oh well I am so sorry that it's depressive, but if you hadn't realized I didn't have a very good childhood
I know, I was suffering right there with you
Is that sarcasm?
It might be
Go away
Fine, jerk face
What the hell kinda insult is that and with a girls voice no less?
I thought I could pass off as gay
Don't do that anymore
Fine see ya
And now that the voice inside my head is gone we can get back to reality. Shusuke was still asleep in my arms while Amar, Hana, and Sakura were talking. I looked out the window to see that it was late.
"Sakura we should go, it was nice meeting the both of you." I said as I gave the child back to his mother. Sakura and I both said our farewells and then left.
"Sasuke?"
"Yes, my love."
She blushed a tomato red at the comment and I couldn't help but smile.
"Um, have you ever thought about having a family besides for the revival of your clan?"
Woah, déjà vu
That's because me and you had this conversation earlier now answer her.
"Once but it was just a random moment. I never thought about since then."
"Oh okay"
"Why? Did you want a family?"
"Well, yes of course. I love children so it makes sense. And Sasuke did you mean it when you said my love a few minutes ago."
That caught me off guard, I thought she would play it off as a joke but I knew she was smarter than that.
"Well yes, I did, I just didn't know how you would react to my feelings."
"Sasuke, I love you, that's why I stayed. There was no other reason."
I let that since in a little, then I grabbed her waist and pulled her close to me. Her back was pressed against my chest, as I buried my face in her hair.
"Yes, my love."
From then on I knew that she would never leave me for no good reason. She loved me and I loved her, there was nothing else to it.
Thank you Kami, for giving me a second chance
Kohaku: so that took awhile
Naruto: you said my love twice in this chapter
Kohaku: and expect it to be there in every chapter if you don't shut up
Sasuke: can we keep it even if he does shut up
Kohaku: duh why do you think I have it there? Sasuke if you hadn't noticed you're not a very show-your-emotion type person
Sakura: yea but he's cute
Kohaku: true wait where's Gaara?
Gaara: right here, with my teddy.
Kohaku: that is so cute, anyway see you in the next chapter and I need to know if I should keep putting the words "my love" in every chapter I think it looks cute but it's up to you, I might get rid of it depending on what you say I may keep it no matter what you say but any way I would like feed back
Everyone: see you next time
